Nineteen of Daniil Medvedev's 21 victories have been achieved on hardcourt
A comeback Daniil Medvedev claimed his initial trophy for 882 days with a win over opponent Moutet in the tournament title decider.
The Russian, a former world number one, has endured a torrid year, achieving just one win at the Grand Slams and experiencing a meltdown at the US Open.
The player's varied form on the ATP Tour - and struggles with his serving in particular - resulted in him dropping out of the elite rankings and finally separating with former mentor Cervara.
Now working with Thomas Johansson and his other coach, Medvedev has consistently improved in the recent weeks - peaking in a tightly fought three-set win over challenger Moutet.
This marks the player's initial trophy after the Rome competition and initial on a hard court after spring of the previous year.
The win also indicates he has won 21 titles at twenty-one various events.
"This marks the first occasion I'm at a competition with my children together, so to win a title is particularly special," commented ranked player Daniil Medvedev.
"This title is in tribute of my younger daughter my daughter, because the first title I got when my first daughter her name was born was for her."
The athlete, the past champion, had failed in his previous six finals, featuring in the German tournament in the past months.
His retrieving strategy and regular outbursts on court had led commentators to question if his ability to perform at the highest level was concluded.
But the player has altered his approach in recent weeks, striving to advance forward and play positively, reinforced by an improved serving game.
He fought back from a disadvantage in the opening set against the tricky Moutet, securing four of the concluding five points to take the lead.
The competitors traded break points in the second set before Moutet, bidding for his first ATP Tour victory, seized the initiative to force a decider.
He rescued 4 early chances in a competitive third set before Medvedev won the break to fifteen to serve for the match.
Fittingly, he earned the win with a rally at the front of the court, with the Frenchman failing to manage a volley after over two and a half hours.
